Biography:

Thomas G. West is the author of the award-winning book In the Mind's Eye--Creative Visual Thinkers, Gifted Dyslexics and the Rise of Visual Technologies, recognized by the American Library Association as one of the "best of the best" for the year. According to Oliver Sacks, MD: "In the Mind's Eye . . . stands alongside Howard Gardner's Frames of Mind as a testament to the range of human talent and possibility." West is also the author of Thinking Like Einstein--Returning to Our Visual Roots with the Emerging Revolution in Computer Information Visualization. In the Mind's Eye was published in Japanese translation as Geniuses Who Hated School. A Chinese translation was published in 2004. After 15 printings in English and 18 years in print, West's publisher, Prometheus Books, requested a second edition of In the Mind's Eye.
